Dilana Is The New Singer For L.A. Guns

[Hey Man]

Following the departure of singer Jizzy Pearl, guitarist Tracii Guns is auditioning new singers for his version of L.A. Guns, including former Rockstar: Supernova contestant Dilana.

Guns confirmed on Metal Sludge, “I met with Dilana last night … she was actually pretty smart and down to earth, we had a long conversation and Jeremy [Carson, bass] was there. There are two other people I’m talking too as well who live out of the country.”

Pearl departed the band on friendly terms to focus on his own projects. “He feels it is time to do his own thing and I couldn’t be happier for him,” Guns said. “He’s a great friend. If Dilana were to end up in L.A. Guns it would be because I like her based on our chemistry and her ability to sing the L.A. Guns songs appropriately. I won’t make a judgment on her based on someone’s opinion of her on Rockstar: Supernova. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind having a woman sing for L.A. Guns.”

The “other” version of L.A. Guns, fronted by singer Phil Lewis and longtime drummer Steve Riley, released the covers album Covered in Guns in 2010, featuring tracks by Def Leppard, KISS, Alice in Chains, Steve Miller Band, AC/DC and Buckcherry. Tracii Guns’ version will release Acoustic Gypsy Live, which features Pearl, on September 27.

Dilana has one hell of a voice. Pretty unique.

She just did some dates opening for Skynyrd/Doobies shed tour.

Whoa wait a minute here. LOL Not only does LA Guns still exist but there are two versions? Hahahahahahahahahahaa

I had the same thought.

I had to look up Dilana to remember who that was.

I actually watched a couple episodes of that stupid show for some bizarre reason and I remember Tommy Lee's classy critique of her singing something "Dilana, I just wanna", she's so dirty and skanky looking I felt the need to take a shower everytime I watched that stupid show...

I watched it religiously (long standing crush on Dave Navarro) I recall liking Dilana but its been so long I'd just completely forgotten about her.

I'd forgotten which one she was. Enjoyed that show, by the way...far more so than the likes of Who Wants To Be A Dancing Millionaire Talent Idol.

Navarro? Really? He's a dick. Used to follow Jane's around when they played clubs, the other three guys were always cool as fuck, Navarro was always a prick.

Women like bad boys.

Isis enjoys the prettier boys. She knows he's a completely superficial and egomaniacal tool, but then again he's a rock star....so that's pretty much a given.

Exactly! I'm not saying I want to start a relationship with him...I just like looking at him. Y'all are guys, you should understand that!

No, sorry....you're a girl, it's all about puppy dog crushes, diary entries, and longing for a sound relationship and gold-digging. You're not allowed to lust, lest you be a whore. Gene Simmons told me something along those lines. Those are the differences between men and women going back to the beginning of time...(6,000 years, if you're a Christian).
